I did work on a cruise ship! I just finished my last contract last week! I'm still with the company, but my boyfriend and I got ourselves some land-based jobs.
Wifi and plush seats on a bus? Fabulous!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Welcome back zuisa!
Welcome home hippo!
I haven't gotten more than 6 hours of sleep since before the inauguration, and that was just one night. I cried 3 times at work today over dumb work frustrations I'd normally shake off. Husband, who is a saint, whisked me off for Indian food when I almost broke down a 4th time in the car. I'm not totally sure how he's put up with me the last few weeks.

Welcome back, zuisa!
::hugs amych hard:: It's hard times, it really is. Can I send more chocolate?
I found a PBS station that's doing Downton Abbey in order on Tuesday nights, and it's just the end of S3. I have decided to watch nothing else tonight, and to leave the internet (aside from here) alone. It's helping.

I'm also avoiding the news, just sort of skimming around the edges on non-news sites. As suggested by Marie Claire, I just did a quick donation to Doctors Without Borders as one of the suggested protest actions. Survey at the end asked why I donated, so I said "In protest of the actions of our National Nightmare."

Woo hoo! I am here - posting from my newly revived laptop!
I skipped right to the "most recent" posts. I hope I didn't miss anything major. But it is lovely to be here in the Buffista homeland.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think I have to leave facebook, too. I have cried 3 or 4 times today, and I am terrified and disheartened, and I can't tell what is rational and what is me being inclined to paranoia. It is like my childhood fear of nuclear war is on top of my pre-Katrina fear that GWB would abolish term limits and it had no time to ramp up- just went from Obama=calm to 100 anxious points in three months.

I'm finding it very difficult to balance staying informed and not losing my mind.
I went to a protest on Sunday, I donate to the ACLU, etc. But then I need to stop and force myself to remember that in 2 days I'm moving into an apartment with my favorite person in the world and that's it's OK to be happy about that - need to keep reminding myself that I can be of more help to the disenfranchised if I keep myself sane.
